NOMA AND THE NOLA PROJECT PRESENT: SHAKESPEARE'S MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

7 p.m. May 26, 2013

The NOLA Project and NOMA enter their third year of partnership to present Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing inside the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden!

Set near the turn of the century in the old American South, this hilarious and festive comedy pits two of Shakespeare’s most beloved characters, Benedick and Beatrice, in a war of words and wits.

Directed by Big Easy Award winner Jason Kirkpatrick and starring NOLA Project Artistic Director A.J. Allegra and Kathlyn Tarwater as the famously feuding duo, this production promises to delight audiences with slapstick, dancing, music, poetry, and all with a touch of Southern charm.
